SHAME ON YOU UMNO-BN! Politicians, police the most corrupt, say Malaysians

SHAME ON YOU UMNO-BN! Politicians, police the most corrupt, say M'sians
KUALA LUMPUR - When it comes to being corrupt, the general public perceives politicians are the worst, followed by the police, Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) revealed today.
Speaking at their campaign called “Speak Up Against Corruption” held at Publika here, the president of TI-M, Akhbar Satar said that a 2014 Malaysian Corruption Barometer showed that 47% of the public perceived politicians as the most corrupt while 42% said those in the police force were.
“As a leader, you should show good example”, Akhbar said, calling on leaders from both sides of the political divide to be better role models in the fight against corruption.
In the Global Corruption Barometer of 2013, it was also concluded that the public perceived political parties as having the highest involvement in corruption, once again followed by those in the police force.
Akhbar urged the public to report suspected cases of corruption by calling TI-M’s new anti-corruption toll-free hotline 1800-220-122.
He said the toll-free hotline would not only serve as a tool for reporting, but would act as a helpdesk for citizens to enquire about their rights, the process involved in submitting a complaint on corruption and the provisions for protection given under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010.
To address the language barrier, TI-M released the “Citizen’s Handbook” in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and Tamil. The handbooks provide comprehensive and essential information on identifying corruption, Malaysia’s anti-corruption laws and how to report suspected cases of corruption.
The public may collect copies of the book at TI-M’s office in Petaling Jaya or request for it to be mailed to their homes by writing in to TI-M.
TI-M also said the Malaysian Corruption Barometer 2014 study revealed a general reluctance to report cases of suspected corruption with 49% of respondents answering “No” to ever reporting corruption and 46% in that group saying they were afraid of “reprisals”. 27% said they “don’t know where to report” such cases and 27% felt “that it would not make a difference” even if they did report it.
“Call us on our toll-free hotline. If you feel confident about your information and your protection under the Whistleblowers Act 2010, then report to us,” Akhbar said. - FMT
